Hi! Can anyone tell me what kind of pepper this is? Peppers are growing upright. Small leaves. Thanks!

if the unripe pods are as yellow as they look in the pic it's a tabasco.

I was thinking Hungarian wax or Dragon Cayanne peppers. Just looked up Tabasco peppers and that definilty could be right! I mostly want to make sure they aren't ornamental. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for any and all hot peppers to grow. I'm not being picky as I just started on my hot pepper obsession. I have a few things to trade (please see my trade list) but they wont be 100's of seeds in the trade. Please let me know how many seeds you would like and/or ask and I'll let you know how many I have. Since I'm new to this I wanted to make sure I had no hybrids from the 2013 season and didn't keep any of the seeds that even might be suspect. Thanks for looking! Genie

Bell pepper or some kind of hot pepper?
Q
Comments (6)
Like DMForcier: I say give it a taste. That will rule out bell pepper if there is any heat at all. But my guess is Pepperoncini maybe. If so, it will have some heat, but very little. I would also venture to guess that if it isn't a Pepperoncini that it is still relatively mild. Disclaimer: I am an uneducated novice pepper grower and have no formal knowledge or training in identifying pepper plants and I am certainly not a Horticulturist, Botanist or any other ******ist. I just act like it. Taste at your own risk and let me know how my guess turns out. Bruce

Going by the Caylix(sp?) The yellow one with the large one is an Annuum-possibly a Squash pepper sold also as a scotch bonnet or as Jamaimcan Yellow hot. Several Chinense look like the top yellow. OR it could be a lot of other stuff. If it is an Annuum it could be a Cheese pepper or? WAY different taste than a Chinense. The other red looks too similar to other red pods. I assume you have no guess list to choose from. Heat might be a help but then my idea of med. heat might be scorching hot to others. I can't help you much. I do think the yellow below the first one is an Annuum. Sold also as a scotch bonnet but isn't. Taste might help with the upper yellow. Size too. The Annums that look similar are usually a lot bigger than chinense varieties in general. Any info on where the pods/seeds originally were obtained? I doubt you have any Fruitsecence or Baccatum - off hand.

Can I substitute pepper flakes for dried hot peppers?
Q
Comments (5)
The substitution is no problem safety-wise since both are dried. But the amount to use is a big question mark, a guess that could only be solved by experimentation. I can't find anything but guesses about equivalency measure for how much flakes equals 1 pepper. The estimates range from 1/2 tsp per pepper to 2 tsp per pepper and even those measurements differ depending on the type of hot pepper. I guess I'd start with the 1/2 tsp per pepper if I was doing it and then see how it taste once opened. Or I'd just go to the store and buy the dried hot peppers needed. ;-) Dave

They look too thick to be Tabasco. I have a Tabasco and the pods are not that thick.

Nice green color plant!

Here is another picture. They are so beautiful and fruitful I don't want to get rid of them. Hoping I can use the peppers for some hot pepper jam.

I am with Zaralena on the Hungarian Wax. Right shape, color and they grow upright as yours are doing.

Hungarian Wax is my guess too.

seeing a pod that size I don't think it's tabasco anymore. and "ornamental" just means the pods grow upright, so people think they're pretty. all peppers are edible. well, by that I mean not poisonous. when someone says a scorpion or a reaper is edible, that could be a matter of opinion.
